“If we cannot go at the speed of light” by Kim Cho-yeop
A delightful thought-provoking collection of short sci-fi stories.
The cover is a work of art 💫
You get to explore possible futures, other planets, what death might look like and so much more. My favorite story was about a Mind Library and how the living are able to commune with dead loved ones. Absolutely fascinating, highly recommend!
